CHLOROPHYLL: 137 Atoms in the Molecule!

Photosynthesis allows plants to absorb energy from Light (aka Photon). Without Chlorophyll, life on Earth as we know it would cease to exist. The molecular formula for Chlorophyll is C55H72MgN4O5 which astonishingly sums to 137 atoms (55 72 1 4 5 = 137). This number 137 and its reciprocal 1/137 is the Fine Structure Constant, revered by top physicists like Einstein and Feynman which determines how quickly an excited atom emits a Photon. This clearly shows that there is a hidden relationship between atoms of creation and Nature. The chlorophyll molecule consists of a central magnesium atom surrounded by a nitrogen-containing structure called a porphyrin ring; attached to the ring is a long carbon–hydrogen side chain, known as a phytol chain. Chlorophyll is the major pigment used by plants for capturing light energy. A chlorophyll molecule consists of a porphyrin head (four pyrrole rings containing nitrogen arranged in a ring around a magnesium ion) and a long hydrocarbon tail. Chlorophyl
